About this Episode
Donald Trump made a clear promise on the campaign trail.
“I will tell you you’re not going to have a war with me and you’re not going to have a third world war with me, that I can tell you,” he said.
And the president doubled down in his inaugural address last year. These have been key promises for much of his MAGA base who’ve applauded his domestic policy focus.
But since taking office, President Donald Trump has ordered military action in Venezuela, Nigeria, Syria, Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, and now Iran. So what does this change mean for Trump supporters and GOP lawmakers who’ve stood by his side?
